I don't see any reason you would want to install invisionfree for a forum. Like they said. I don't think you can do it, but there is alot of better board then invisionfree. It's alot easier to handle then other forums, but it isn't professional. The IPB boards like this is the most professional I've seen. What I wouldn't give just to be able to add comments in peoples profile and stuff.Maybe you can check out zetaboards when they come out. They should be out in like a mo...

I'm afraid that Invisionfree forums cannot be uploaded to your own site. They must be hosted on their servers, unless you buy Invision Power Board. You can just put the link. It's a bit of a nuisance, but you are getting a paid board for free, so I can't really complain.
Can I possibly upload a phpBB forum?Last time I tried the 1 file I needed the most wouldn't upload after about 400 other files in foler-in folder form.=(
a phpBB forum should be fine
you can run an invisionfree board but as bluefish said, it must be hosted somewhere else.
a good host is IPBFREE.COM http://ipbfree.com/home/ i have not personally used them, but friends who have could not have more highly recommended them! they are also now using IPBFree version 2 now! good luck -jimmy
Hmm I think that there is a free version of the invision board (the old version, i think 1.3 or something) but i'm not sure where to get it. You might want to search around for it or something.
Otherwise if I were you i'd look at other forum software including phpBB and simple machines forums (SMF). I would go with smf simply because it's easier to use and phpBB has a load of security holes. But if you are going to be modding your forum (heavy modding) then phpBB is the way to go. There are a few mods that fix the holes plus there are millions of mods and skins avaliable, all for free. -HellFire
Invision free is just an invision power board that supports ads (thats how they get there money). If they let you upload it for free they would be loosing money (if you took the ads off). I think you can upload SMF (free and on fantastico), PHPBB (free and good and on fantastico), PHP-NUKE (addition to PHPBB but costs money), VBulletin (costs money) and Invision Power (like Invision free but costs money). There are a lot more but thouse are the best that I am awair of. I would agree with everyone else that PHPBB should be fine for if you want to have an upload. If you don't care you should go with invision free. Another idea is createphpbb (free hosted and addition to phpbb).
I've got to agree too. When you compare phpBB to the likes of the paid ones, you'll see how good a product it is. Its true that it lacks quite a few of the features packed by VB & IPB, but unlike the freelancers at phpBB, those guys are composed of developers who are paid to do the job. Hence they can devote a greater amount of time in developing their products. phpBB, on the other hand has a large community, which comprises of developers and designers alike. There are loads of MODs / Hacks and Themes available, that can suit your needs. Besides, being fully open source, it can be customized to suit your needs too.
With the advent of the third version - PHPBB Olympus (currently in Beta 5) you can see the number of features they've improved upon. It might still not be as powerful as VB, but I guess that's as good as you get it for free.
Good standalone forums would be phpBB and SimpleMachines. Eazy installation steps for both and loads of mods/modules available.
On the other hand if you want something thats integrated (Forums+Website+Portal..) like a complete CMS then i'd suggest e107. Probably the only CMS i would trust with everything integrated and eazy to use settings. Plus a huge user base and loads of plug-ins / themes  Regards Dhanesh.
I have a lot of problems with phpBB though because everytime I make it it will say something is missing or wrong or overused(don't ask). I've tried uploading it and it took forever and wouldn't work.Any ideas on how to upload it?

Maybe you can check out zetaboards when they come out. They should be out in like a month or so. (I'm just stating my opinion)
Isn't it better to just put a link to the forum? Is it really necessary to have it uploaded to your site? It wouldnt make any real difference, in my opinion. But a phpBB forum would work, i guess.
The Free Version of IPB 1.3 can be used only if you got it when it was available, now it is no longer available. So you cannot use it.
Try the alternatives like SMF, XMB, phpBB with categories MOD. or better wait till phpBB 3 is released, it has all the features of IPB and it is free.

Yep, as WeaponX said .. why dont you upload compressed files ? Aight Try this ..
1) Go to phpBB and get this file >>HERE<< .. its the "phpBB 2.0.22 Full Package" in a ZIP format. 2) Now, it depends on where you want to install the forums, if its in "ROOT" thats in public_HTML then your ZIP archive should have all the files of phpBB listed when opened. If incase you want it installed like http://www.site.com/forums .. then well your upload path would be "public_HTML/Forums". 3) For now i would suggest you install it as http://www.site.com/forums and play around with it till you get a better understanding of how this works. 4) Upload the ZIP you just downloaded from the link above to your hosting account .. into public_HTML thats "ROOT". Once uploaded click on the file name and on your right hand top you will see a few options. One of those options would be "Extract File Contents". Just click it once and it will extract everything into a folder called "phpBB2". 5) Now select the folder phpBB2 by clicking on its name and on your top right column choose "Rename File". Rename it to forums. 6) I assume you know how to make a database in MySQL so i wont go there. Just make shure that before you go through, make the config.php file writable to 666 by changing permissions. If you run into any specific problems while installation then post a screenshot or just ask here Hope this helped Regards Dhanesh.
